YEREVAN. – The OSCE Minsk Group mediator co-chair states, featuring
Russia, the U.S. and France, have the mandate corresponding to the
agency of the international community, to deal with the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, the statement made by the Armenian FM
Edward Nalbandian reads in connection to the 20th anniversary of the
establishment of the OSCE Minsk Group.

`If the MG failed to record a success so far, it is not because of the
co-chairs making less efforts, but because one of the conflicting
sides [Azerbaijan] shows non-constructive position. It neglects offers
set forwards by the co-chairs, continues to make war-like statements
and does not wish to negotiate to Nagorno-Karabakh, which is the
direct side of the conflict.

Armenia, supporting the conflict settlement exclusively through peace,
gives appraisal to the work of the co-chairs. We believe that the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict may be achieved just within that
format,’ the statement reads.
